Remaining true to the cabinet build and finish quality of that yesteryear model, the Autograph Mini naturally incorporates a Dual Concentric™ driver – the unique engineering statement that makes this speaker a ‘real’ Tannoy. Incorporating wide bandwidth technology to ensure breathtaking performance from a unit measuring just 4” in diameter, this is the smallest ‘Dual’ ever manufactured. And following in the footsteps of its proven heritage the
driver utilises a heavy cast alloy frame and multi fibre paper pulp cone. Delivering natural midrange and well defined bass, the traditional but high tech cone material also ensures subtlety with stunning detail and expansive imaging.

A key component of the Autograph Mini is the titanium diaphragm high frequency unit is positioned on the same axis as the bass section. Fitted with a neodymium magnet system to deliver a smooth response up to an incredible 54kHz, this key component in the Autograph Mini enhances the loudspeaker’s strikingly true to life performance. Ensuring complete signal path integrity, 99.99% high purity silver cable is used to connect the tweeter to the system’s minimalist crossover network – a thoroughbred audiophile component in itself that includes low loss inductors and specially damped audio grade capacitors.

High density birch ply with hardwood veneers and solid hardwood mouldings are utilised in the unique and chic design of the hand finished cabinet. As with its erstwhile and larger predecessor, authentic oatmeal coloured grille cloth is used to conceal the driver and is also inlayed within the angled sides towards the front of the miniature hexagonal cabinet. A high performance loudspeaker designed for the discerning fashion conscious.

The Autograph mini is a hugely scaled-down but authentic version of a loudspeaker that was famous throughout the audio world fifty years ago. Reduced to a fraction of the size of the immense and revered original Tannoy Autograph this exquisite replica is the ultimate modern retro audio product. Its diminutive size and accurately detailed finish produce a modern day classic that will embellish the most contemporary surroundings.

Stirling SE

A compact floor-standing speaker that uses a 10” (254mm) Tannoy Dual Concentric™ in a cabinet design optimised to produce bass performance with superb control and extension, allied to spacious, fluid mid-range and high frequencies of great purity and detail. The cohesion of the stereo sound staging reproduced by the Stirling SE, a characteristic common to all the Dual Concentric™ equipped Prestige models, is involving and believable, delivering remarkable spaciousness and presentational stability in equal measure.

High frequency sound radiates from the centre of the low frequency unit through a carefully designed high frequency exponential horn. With the HF unit mounted behind and concentrically with the LF unit, low and high frequency sound radiation is generated on the same axis and is therefore fully integrated at source. A ‘hard edge’ cone surround and unique chassis earthing system deliver tight, fast and controlled bass with fluid and transparent midrange and high frequency performance of great purity.

The internal components are hard wired with Van den Hul MC CS18 halogen free silver plated cable throughout. High quality crossover components, such as ICW ClarityCaps, high quality metalised film capacitors and very low loss iron core inductors, have all been carefully arranged to avoid any coupling effects.

Each of the traditional style cabinets employ real wood veneered 18mm birch ply panels and solid hardwood mouldings, which are hand polished to a standard that is unsurpassed. Extensive internal bracing and damping is utilised to reduce colouration, augment the midrange detail, and improve speed and clarity of the bass. Low frequency alignment is managed through the Tannoy Distributd Port System (DPS).

All models feature a Tannoy researched and pioneered system of driver chassis earthing. This system reduces the effect of RF interference, which would otherwise blur and mask fine detail.

The Sandringham is fitted with an 8” Dual Concentric™ drive unit and crossover frequency is adjustable via a 3-way external high current gold plated switch block.

Glenair 10

Utilising the the same design principles and proven acoustic benefits of a trapezoidal cabinet design of the Glenair, the Glenair 10 is a more compact speaker equipped with a 250mm (10.00") Dual concentric™ drive unit.

Plywood manufactured from birch grown in slow-growing cold regions of the world and selected for its denser quality is used for the main structure of the speaker cabinet. The combination of heavily damped material, comprehensive internal bracing and non–parallel side panels alleviate the problems associated with standing waves, ensuring that the loudspeaker is free from unwanted resonance.

Externally the cabinet is finely crafted with American Cherry veneer and solid wood mouldings hand finished and polished to an unsurpassed standard. No unsightly retaining lugs spoil the clean lines of the speaker’s front panel when the curved, acoustically transparent grille is removed; this thanks to the cleverly designed magnetised fixing method within the baffle structure.
